The difference between the request time and the current time is too large (RequestTimeTooSkewed)


The date & time on your computer is not set correctly, or the timezone is not set correctly. The Amazon S3 servers only allow a variation of up to 15 minutes, so if your computer's clock is not set accurately enough then the Amazon S3 server will return this error.

Note that it's common for new installations of Windows to have the wrong timezone (region) set which results in the wrong date & time (that is, it forces the PC to think UTC is different to the reality). Check to make sure the timezone is correct first before checking the date & time.


The date & time may 'look' right for your timezone, but if the PC actually thinks it is in a timezone whose local time is (say) 6 hours different to yours, it will reverse-calculate UTC as being 6 hours 'wrong'. Note that if you do correct the timezone settings, you may have to correct the date & time afterwards.
